Enteric Coated Curcumin

Enteric Coated Curcumin tablets

Protects tablet contents from acidic environments of stomach

After passing through the stomach allows capsule or tablet to break down easily in pancreatic juices in the Duodenum* (pH 6‐8)

Enables absorption of enzymes, at their highest activity levels, in the small intestine

This is quite clever science which relies on the fact that the stomach is acidic and intestines are not, where food goes after the stomach, are not. The coating is designed to hold together in acid conditions and break down in non-acid conditions and therefore release the drug in the intestines.

Our digestive system contains very harsh conditions that enable it to break down food efficiently.

Enteric coating on Curcumin prevents Curcumin to meet the stomach acids, thus releasing it into the intestines and getting absorbed into the bloodstream directly, thereby maximizing its bio-availability. In other words, enteric coating on the tablets prevents release of the drug until it reaches the intestines. This kind of aqueous coating ensures highest level of Curcumin absorption, thereby delivering maximum results.

Why curcumin is combined with Bioperine and Bromelain

Bioperine Black Pepper Fruit Extract promotes absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract. Bioperine increases the bio-availability of many nutrients and drugs. This acts as a 100% natural bio-availability booster, improving the absorption and utilization of different nutrients into the bloodstream, including Curcumin.

Bromelain can be used to treat many ailments and illnesses. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple fruit extract, is a popular nutritional supplement.
